<strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove Neighbourhood Plan 7 INFRASTRUCTURE 7.1 The community was asked to consider what physical and community infrastructure the parish lacked or needed improving. A significant response was that a community centre was required to serve the village. Currently <strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove does not have any form of community centre and the Parish Council does not have an office which the general public can visit. The only public facility which people can hire at present is the Scout Hall. However, this is used on most evenings by the Scout Group, so is unable to serve the needs of people when they most need it. 7.2 Other specific facilities were identified. These broadly come under the headings of ‘sports/leisure facilities’ and ‘transport infrastructure’. Community facilities Justification 7.3 Consultation with the community identified that a community facility was required to provide a meeting venue for community groups. Ideally, this meeting facility would also have kitchen facilities. Also, the Parish Council currently does not have an office so meetings between members of the public and the parish clerk have to take place at the clerk’s house. Therefore, the facility would need to have an office and small meeting room. 7.4 Such a facility would have to be funded principally from developer contributions and an appropriate site found. 7.5 Contributions from development will be collected either through a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or by Section 106 agreement. Whilst the CIL Regulations will restrict the pooling of Section 106 contributions, this is only where there are five or more contributions. Therefore, the two allocated sites could all contribute towards the new community facility without contravening the Regulations. Objectives of the policy 7.6 The aim is to deliver the most important piece of community infrastructure which the local community wants. The policy recognises the importance of funding for its delivery being secured through a combination of developer contributions and other funding sources. Policy IN1: Provision of a community centre A community facility comprising, as a minimum, a main hall, small meeting room, office for the Parish Council and basic amenities, shall be provided when an appropriate site is identified and is made available. The appropriateness of a community facility on such a site will be subject to the other policies in this plan. The cost of construction of the new facility and the land for this facility will principally be met through the pooling of developer contributions from new development in <strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove parish. ent w 46
<strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove Neighbourhood Plan Policy IN1 Objective 1: The community accepts some new homes are necessary but these should be built in the most sustainable and least impacting areas of the village, preserving the village atmosphere for future generations. Objective 2: The preservation of the village of <strong>Rolleston</strong> on Dove to prevent merging into the suburbs of Burton and the villages of Stretton and Tutbury, thereby losing its important identity. Objective 3: The protection of green open space used for sport and recreation. Objective 4: The scale of development to be in keeping with the village. In particular, large housing developments are not acceptable within the village. Objective 5: Developments should meet the needs of the local community and be designed to be in keeping with the existing properties in the village. YES Sports/leisure facilities Justification 7.7 Consultation with the community identified that there was considerable demand for the following infrastructure to serve the community: Changing rooms serving the sports pitches at Craythorne Playing Fields New allotment space College Field to be returned to an operational sports ground 7.8 The provision of allotment space will need to be accommodated on sites other than those allocated for housing development (Policy H5). These should ideally be easily accessible by the majority of the inhabitants of <strong>Rolleston</strong> village using non-car modes of transport. 7.9 The changing rooms to serve the sports pitches at Craythorne Playing Fields should ideally be adjacent to the pitches or at least a very short walk away. 7.10 These infrastructure needs will principally be funded through developer contributions. These contributions will be collected either through CIL or by Section 106 agreement. It is important to recognise that the most important item of infrastructure identified is the new community centre, so significant levels of developer contribution must be set aside for this to be delivered later in the plan period. 7.11 Contributions should also be sought from other sources, including grant funding. Objectives of the policy 7.12 The aim is to deliver community infrastructure which the local community considers is lacking in the parish. It ensures that it is capable of being funded through a combination of developer contributions and other funding sources. 47
